Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:34:36 +0000http://studentactivism.net/?p=10476#comment-460803No problem! I’m also writing a series of posts at my own blog as a response to the Katha Pollitt column. The first one, which runs some numbers to show that trans pregnancy and abortion are more common than Pollitt assumes, is up.

The annual NCAVP reports on hate/police violence and intimate partner violence against LGBTQ people also have some trans-specific data, as does Lambda Legal’s Protected and Served report on state violence against LGBTQ people.

Wed, 11 Mar 2015 11:46:25 +0000http://studentactivism.net/?p=10456#comment-459405Good response in any case. In my experience, if you’re not sure something is a good idea, that’s because at least a little part of you thinks it isn’t. That means it’s time to stop and think very carefully before proceeding. It doesn’t mean don’t do it, but it does mean try to examine all the angles and possible interpretations so that you are at least clear on your purpose and prepared for problems.

Wed, 11 Mar 2015 11:21:08 +0000http://studentactivism.net/?p=10456#comment-459397That makes sense, SQ, and makes the question less likely to be a troll.

Tue, 10 Mar 2015 18:37:32 +0000http://studentactivism.net/?p=10456#comment-459236I wonder if the question came not as “should I or shouldn’t I”, but rather “how should I respond/characterize if someone else does”?

Tue, 10 Mar 2015 14:42:34 +0000http://studentactivism.net/?p=10447#comment-459196Jupitaur, I interpreted the question as referring to interactions that were perceived as anti-white bigotry perpetrated by a person of color in a position of authority. I don’t think the implication is that people of color wielding power over white people is unnatural so much that in such a situation one could describe such power as satisfying the second half of the “prejudice + power” definition of racism.

This is a conversation I’ve witnessed (and participated in) myself a bunch of times. Person A describes a prejudiced act committed by a person of color against a white person as racist. Person B says people of color can’t be racist because people of color don’t hold power. Person A sets up a hypothetical like the one in the original question.
